The Play:
This endearing new play is a funny and touching Norman Rockwell-styled portrait of two young people searching for happiness. In December 1940, an eastbound train carries the bodies of two great American writers - Nathaniel West and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also on board is May, who shares her seat with a charming flyer named Raleigh. This simply staged "valentine" played to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was nominated by the New York Drama League for Best Play in 1999.
